Grouping by company is simply artificial in a market economy. And using revenue other profit is ridiculous. It makes more sense to just look at where the highest paid employees are and the most profitable companies are by return on invested capital and operational expenses (which must including proper weighting of the float between expenses and reimbursement). Unsurprisingly, the company that applies this metric deep across its corporate DNA -- Amazon -- is the onr of the most profitable and one of very few with no natural or secret-sauce barriers to competition, just ruthless excellent execution.
